    Great troubleshooting tips! On my last desktop, the entire USB system died on the motherboard and had to go to a PCI USB card to plug my mouse, keyboard, etc... into. That worked for a while but then one day the EVGA board totally died. Rebuilt the entire system with a new MSI motherboard and all is good now.

    At about 1.50 remaining, you talk about resetting your PC, which will cause you to lose all your apps etc. Before you do that, why not try an 'In-place Upgrade Repair Install', which should keep all your apps and settings?

    One problem I'd have was those little 3 or 4 port hubs you couls use as extensions for a single USB port. They'd be plug and play and would work, but, the driver that Windows would load would always go wrong. It wouldn't matter which port you tried or which driver, it would always show an error in device manager. The hubs never had their own drivers. I don't know if this was ever fixed in later builds of Windows, but, I never bothered trying.

    So funny you release this video now, I've had issues with my USB's and Bluetooth not working for the past 2 weeks. All but 2 ports were getting power but no data and were not being recognised by windows at all and my onboard bluetooth wasnt being detected. I tried: checking all internal connections and cables; windows updates; installing chipset drivers; device manager updating usb root hub drivers, delete drivers, unchecked the option to allow windows to turn off to save power for each root hub; windows repair, reinstalling windows from a 6 month old system image; turned off USB Selective Suspend Mode in power and sleep settings; changed the behaviour of my power button by disabling Fast Startup in the Power and Sleep Settings and a few other troubleshooting things. I still havent completely fixed the problem but it now only doesnt work when I first switch on my PC, when i restart in Windows everything works properly again which makes me think it is the Power Button behaviours that is the issue but i don't know how to fix it but i can live with it now.Before hand no amount of restars fixed the issue.

I have to remove them and boot up then switch off and re boot to access the drives. I have not changed anything sinc setting up this new home buit machine three weeks ago. Any ideas Brian.

    I don't have as many USBs on my system so i use 2x Anker USB Hubs plugged into their own USB. Every so often my keyboard and mouse just randomly disconnect and they are both RGB so their lights just flicker (turn on for 1 sec and turn off). I bought new Keyboard and mouse because i thought they was faulty. I went from Razer to SteelSeries and having same problem. So i don't know what it is. But i have unplugged 1 anker USB hub to try that 😭. I've had this issue now for 2 years. Occasionally i'd get a notification to say USB devices have malfunctioned and won't reconnect when i plug them in, so i have to force restart my PC.

    Problem,
    Windows attachable keyboard & USB wireless mouse stopped working simultaneously
    Device Manager shows
    USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller has yellow ! Device cannot start code 10
    Actions Taken
    Windows 11 fully updated
    Driver removed through device manager no change
    Driver updated through device manager no change
    Checked BIOS
    Surface Pro 6 reset to factory settings twice, once keeping files, last full reset
    Tried Snappy Driver Updater
    Looked at Power Settings but Windows 11 makes this difficult
    Restarted obviously numerous times
    In Device Manager when I select the USB Controller and open there is no power tab
    In Device Manager there is only 1 item listed under Universal Serial BUS Coontroller
    I have tried just about every fix I can find with no changes, I hesitate with the hardware options as both the USB port on the side of my Surface Pro 6 stopped and at the same time the magnetic connector at the bottom for the keyboard also stopped, hard to believe that the 2 locations are connected physically in any way,
    I tried driver updates manually but keep getting message that I have the correct driver,
    Uninstalled my Avast Virus software, no change, switched to AVG no change,
    I have contacted Microsoft Surface Support and they worked for awhile with me and now are no longer responding,
    Open to any suggestions

    I’m confused because where I had my ports plugged in before they worked but all of a sudden they stopped working overnight. I woke up to my mouse and headset were off but the usb was plugged in. But when I connect them to a different port they work it’s as if I’ve lost power to my top ports. Also my adapter stopped working as well. I’m confused right now and really don’t want to buy another build, please help.
    Btw I’ve already tried everything from other videos all the restarting, disabling, and power managements and nothing has worked

      @@gurpartaprayat7120 I ended up taking it to a technician and I had already nailed down to what it was and I figured maybe my motherboard got fried overnight or something. And I was right they said that a power surge occurred and it fried my motherboard’s usb ports and was spreading throughout my pc had I kept using it but I’ve had it off for 2 weeks. I ended up just buying a new motherboard and having them deal with it rather than myself because pc’s are delicate things. If you need to get back to using the pc I’d suggest taking the route I took but if your patient maybe look into buying a new motherboard and trying to put it in yourself but know there are risks.
